El fin de la era del espacio [The End of the Space Age], Spring/Summer 2012 Collection
Description of artwork: Adriana Lara considers all artistic production to be collaborative, and she works at the nexus of visual arts, performance, music, and film. Her work marks a shift away from object making and toward process and she sometimes utilizes the syntactical structures of sign systems and modes of visualizing quantitative data. Lara is the co-founder of Perros Negros, a collective based in Mexico City whose members describe it as a "production office" that connects the arts to other spheres of society.
El fin de la era del espacio was shown in Lara’s 2012 exhibition at Gaga gallery in Mexico City. The show’s title, “La Pintura (Lasser) Moderna,” referred to Lasser Moderna, a band Lara belonged to. Their music was edited by Nuevos Ricos, Carlos Amorales' record label. At Gaga, Lara presented a performance-turned-fashion show of a collection of raffia and canvas garments, prints on fabrics, and various artifacts of the digital age such as CDs, hard drives, and USB flash drives. After the opening, these objects came together in a series of paintings titled Spring/Summer 2012 Collection. El fin de la era del espacio belongs to this collection and features a plastic raffia skirt dipped in paint that is mounted on a printed canvas. A USB flash drive is woven into the skirt's waistband and a The Economist magazine peeks out from beneath, presenting the layers and interconnections between information, art, and technology.
